Christine Delphy (born 1941) is a French sociologist, feminist, writer and theorist. She was a co-founder of the review Nouvelles questions f?ministes (New Feminist Issues) with Simone de Beauvoir in 1977. Biography,Delphy was born in 1941 to parents who owned a local pharmacy. In the documentary film on her life and ideas, Je ne suis pas feministe, mais… Delphy describes an early feminist consciousness in observing her parents: though running the pharmacy was labor-intensive for both of them, when they came home at lunch, Delphy noticed her father putting his feet up to rest and read the newspaper while her mother was obliged to cook a midday meal and then do the dishes before they both returned to work.Nevertheless, Delphy did not always identify as a feminist, owing to stigma around the term. In a television interview in 1985, she described a period of her life when she routinely prefaced comments with, Je ne suis pas feministe, mais… (the phrase from which the film draws its title).
